The Associazione Nazionale Città del Vino announced the sixth edition of its annual literary competition “Racconti intorno al Vino”. The 2026 theme is “Vino e archeologia”.

Five cash prizes of €500 each will be awarded, and an additional prize funded by the Regione Friuli‑Venezia Giulia offers a weekend stay in the region with guided visits to archaeological sites, museum entries and a winery tasting. The contest continues its partnership with Gruppo Ermada Flavio Vidonis, which supports the prize, and Edizioni Jolly Roger, which will publish the selected stories.
